Three significant events recently had me thinking about how quickly time passes.

In April 1988, the first Boeing 747-400 flight took place. The second event was the 30th anniversary of East and West Germany unifying. Finally, when Apple launched the iPhone 12, it took me back to June 2007 when the first iPhone was released.

Such events are good reminders that while our attention is often on our present worries, like paying the bills and simply getting by, life marches on. Sometimes, we have to make decisions now to give ourselves a better future. Financially, that means investing. So what would have happened If I had invested during these milestones?
